Senate President Bukola Saraki Announces Ali Ndume And Bala Ibn Na'Allah As Senate Leader And Deputy

Ali Ndume

 All Progressives Congress senators have nominated Ali Ndume as the Majority Leader of the Senate, in defiance of the party’s directive that Ahmed Lawan be given the role.
Mr. Lawan lost the senate presidency election to Bukola Saraki, despite being the party’s official candidate.

The party insists its preferred candidates who failed to be elected president and speaker for the Senate and House of Representatives respectively, be elected Majority Leaders in both chambers.

The Senate on Thursday officially nominated Mr. Ndume, from Borno State, as Majority Leader and Bala Ibn Na’alla as deputy leader. Mr. Na’alla, a former House of Representatives member, is from Kebbi state.

The Senate also nominated Francis Alimikhena, from Edo State, as Deputy Chief Whip.
The nominations are subject to approval
